The carburetor is a brand new Edelbrock 600 CFM electric choke model and runs smooth. I do not have the original carb. The wheels have been replaced with 14" Cragar and brand new tires. The car also has non original dual exhaust system. Other new items include.

I love the radio delete look. The car is mechanically sound in every way. Great driver and very fast. Rearend hooks up nice. Engine very strong and trans shifts great. Chirps the tires in first and second gear. Shocks are good and car goes straight down the road. Power drum brakes stop fine. The car has a nice exhaust note with just the right rumble. The car idles well and revs nicely. No oil or fluid leaks. The interior is excellent. Clean and tidy, much better than most. Carpets clean and nice. Seats are excellent front and back. Headliner in good shape no tears. Dash pad has a few waves in it but not bad. All glass good. Original steering wheel is nice, horn not working. All heat and defrost new and works great. New door panels and kick panels. Factory center console removed from car but included. The seat belts were also removed and not included. This car is an older restoration done by the son of the original owner from far southern Illinois. The underside of the car is pretty clean and rust free except the typical rust area on the left and right floors in the front corners. This will be an easy patch/fix. The rear quarter's are full of body filler around the wheel openings and lower area's. Wheel houses and trunk extension look fine. I would do a partial replacement of both qaurters. All other area's of body and framer rails/torque boxes excellent. Trunk floor solid. The paint is nice and resprayed original Poppy Red about a few years ago. I would repaint the car when time to replace the rear quarters. Who ever painted the car did a better job than the rear quarter panel body work. The paint is very good other than some cracking around the passenger side wheel opening where most of the filler is. The paint has an excellent shine as the entire car was just buffed. All trim in decent shape with minor pitting but no rust. It's hard to find these Early 64 1/2 Mustangs with the options this car has and this one is a great driver and with a little work and TLC could be really nice. You could also fully restore this car to stock with out spending a fortune. Please ask all questions prior to bidding 773-562-3925.
